writing them is like 80% of the learning process-- that's when it all gets cemented in my brain. then I bring them everywhere with me and bust them out whenever I have a minute.

That worked well for contracts and torts (which I have tomorrow), but I think property is going to require a different approach. It's completely open-book (assigned text), open-note, and it's the subject I know jack shit about, so I'm gonna have to seriously cram and make a nicely searchable package for it. I have 4 days for it, so I'm not too worried.

are you sure they're not just inflamed lymph nodes or under the skin zits or something?

Reb · « **Reply #1383 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:39:35 PM »

They're at the back of my neck on the left side, halfway between my ears and the centre of the back of my neck.
Around the height of my earlobe.

They hurt a little, so I hope it's just something inflamed, but the fact that I noticed a second on today kind of freaked me out.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #1384 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:41:51 PM »

sounds like swollen nodes. are they in the same spot on either side of your neck?

Reb · « **Reply #1385 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:43:21 PM »

No, they're above the node in the left side of my neck, one very near, the other (bigger) closer to my skull.

Reb · « **Reply #1386 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:46:50 PM »

No, it requires an actual skill.

Reb · « **Reply #1387 on:** December 13, 2009, 04:54:46 PM »

No, the small one is right above the lymph node, the big one is at the height of my ear, but right past the big neck muscle on the left.

It's because people on this board like(d) Muse, unlike most of those other bands.

Before you became a prominent poster, a good amount of the Muse hate was to troll me.

Nothing!

Robo · « **Reply #1395 on:** December 14, 2009, 03:26:38 AM »

If there's a reason they don't deserve praise, ignoring Paul Banks fucking HORRIBLE lyrics for a moment, it's because they're wholly derivative. Almost offensively so -- they're about on the same level as Jet as far as originality is concerned. Even so, "Turn on the Bright Lights" would've been touted as a classic even in the 80's heyday of post-punk. It's a great album (again, if you can ignore the lyrics).

And yes, I realize the irony of this post after just saying there's nothing wrong with Vampire Weekend.

Lou Reed, maybe, but Ian Curtis is the obvious "inspiration" for the vocals.

The civil procedures exam wasn't too difficult; in fact, I probably could have done just as well if I didn't read any fucking case law.* Should get at least a B in the class, despite my arvie moments.

God I need sleep.

I fear I'm going to fuck up my compsci final tomorrow. Looking at last years tests, he asks a lot of obtuse questions about Java that I couldn't care less about. I hate compsci tests that focus on code and not concepts.

So my brother got STEAM today and is starting to play PC games on his laptop. He's also starting to play more videogames and borrow more stuff from me. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

See he's always been a casual gamer that played like 3-4 games a year or something that I'd recommend to him. But he had a longterm gf and dudebros and lots of social life drinkin and partying and stuff. Which is good. Then last month his 4-5+ year relationship gf who was living with him for the last few years left him and moved out. Since then he's starting to get more into videogames. He still hangs out with his dudebros and drinks and parties (moreso now that he's single), but I'm kind of worried about him letting videogames fill up the void of his now non-relationship. I want him to get out there and meet another girl and stuff and I'm afraid if he gets too into videogames like me he'll hurt his chances of a normal life.

So yeah, kinda cool seeing him get STEAM and enter the world of PC gaming, but I hope this isn't the start of an addiction that leaves him single.

It's probably better than banging some barmaid on the rebound. Well, safer. Not better.

Let him do his thing and escape for a bit. That's what any rebound is about.
